Let's Grow Mushrooms Vid - Grain Prep Question
    #22094635 - 08/15/15 12:05 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I've read alot on the various lid teks, but this quesiton is specific to the LGM video on grain spawn prep. In the video one of the lid options is two layers of tyvek covering a metal lid with 3-4 small holes drilled. If you used this method, can the small holes be used to inoculate with a spore syringe? If so, how do you find the holes to inject through when they are covered in tyvek?

No, you would effectively be poking a hole in your filter.

Many people here make custom jar lids. They can be made very cheap using tyvek from free envelopes from the U.S. post office. The self-healing injection ports are made with RTV silicone. You can find many teks on the forum if you use the search engine...

Better lids can be made using rubber stoppers, and syringe filters. I secure them to the lids using JB-Weld epoxy.

IME syringe filters suck for colonizing grains or substrate. They are too restrictive and will slow growth. They are perfect for LC lids though. For anything other than LC use SFD patches instead of syringe filters and tyvek, postal tyvek is crap.

Ok, yes SFD's are probably best... I didn't say syringe filters were, just better than tyvek...

It's what I got and works so far for me.

Postal tyvek worked for my first 3 grows with ZERO contamination. I wouldn't say crap, but there are better things. It is a decent workable solution for many people with very little money.

Tyvek does not restrict GE, syringe filters do.....how exactly are they better?

They are not, they both suck IMO.

Well then I'll buy some and possibly be a convert. I'll take your personal opinion as a recommendation to try using SFDs.

Stiff Ez-Felt works in place of an SFD if you are unable to get them. I use SFD's because I have a shit ton of them lol and they are still superior.
